Before we get started, make sure you have:
The first thing you should do is ensure that your system's package repository is up to date.
Open the terminal emulator and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This command will update the package repository and ensure that you can install the latest version of EmuLinkerSF.
EmuLinkerSF requires Java to run, so you will need to install OpenJDK.

sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk
This command will install OpenJDK on your system.
Go to the EmuLinkerSF website at https://emulinker.org/downloads/ and download the latest version of EmuLinkerSF.
Once the download is complete, navigate to the Downloads folder in your terminal emulator:
cd ~/Downloads
Use the following command to extract the EmuLinkerSF archive:
tar -xzf EmuLinkerSF_vX.XX.X.tar.gz
Replace X.XX.X with the version you downloaded.
Navigate to the EmuLinkerSF directory:
cd EmuLinkerSF_vX.XX.X
Run the following command to start EmuLinkerSF:

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
